Broadcast Journalist Napoleon Ato Kittoe has said he was robbed at gunpoint by a man in police uniform on Thursday morning.
The robber made away with GHC 1,000 after he accosted him around the Fiesta Royale Hotel at North Dzorwulu in Accra.
Napoleon narrated his ordeal in a post on his Facebook page, noting that he was taken to an ATM and forced to withdraw money for the robber.
Indications are that the robber had at least one accomplice because there was a taxi waiting for him after the robbery.
"I have news for the public. I was accosted around fiesta royale hotel by a man wearing police inspector uniform at 10:20am today. I was on my way to weija but the police man with gun who entered my car diverted me to korle bu where l was forcibly asked to withdraw money with ATM for him. The man demanded 8,500ghc but l withdrew 1,000ghc. He then left me and jumped into waiting taxi and it sped off. He said to me, are u not the broadcaster who travelled with presidents? Do it and have your peace"
